Tips

Stay out for less time if you don't want unnaturally bright highlights

Highlights WILL look natural if you sit out for less than 1 hour

DON'T wash your hair for 1 to 2 days. You can, of course, shower during that time period, but only rinse your hair.

These highlights look COMPLETELY natural, they are beautiful, and they last about as long as normal highlights, and they will go as bright as you like if you keep putting lemon juice on them and sitting in the sun for 30 minutes

This type of highlight shows up VERY well in any type of braid

For the highlights to look VERY natural, sit in the sun for 45 to 50 minutes at most.

tilt your head to the side to avoid getting lemon juice on hair you don't want highlighted
